It is the de facto standard used by printed circuit board (PCB) industry software to describe the printed circuit board images : copper layers, solder mask, legen etc. Printed circuit boards are designed in CAD and transferred into CAM. CAD and CAM programs are usually made by different companies, so they need to agree on the type of data exchange.
Gerber is used in PCB fabrication data. Known as “the backbone of the electronics fabrication industry” . It is the standard file used by printed circuit board (PCB) industry software to describe the printed circuit board images : copper layers, solder mask, legen etc.
They are also called stencil data in the electronic assembly industry, and light . The files are used to create photo plots, . DRL in our Allegro PCB design L v16. The units can be either inches or millimeters. The format specifies the precision . A format developed by Ucamco.
Does anyone know what file extension is used for a board outline gerber file ? Please note: An aperture list does not need to be sent with 274X format files.
If you send 274D format , we use your aperture list in combination with your gerber.
